I'm with you Capt. BUT . . . what about the NTA? (National Tree Association).

Be careful - they have a lot of clout!

Depends on if the tree was a Black Walnut or Spanish Moss. I wonder if it had been imported from Miami?

The poor old soul was 94 and it was early in the morning, he was probably heading to daily Mass.

It was most likely a Crepe Myrtle. I have heard the word "murder" associated with that kind of tree.
